Okay so question. I am 21 weeks 5 days and the last 7 days I’ve felt my little man kick like CRAZY all day long and now I haven’t felt him once today. Is this normal or should I be alarmed?
I had the same paranoia with my babes movements around the same time.
Turns out she was moving just not as aggressively all the time. I could hardly feel her small flutters unless I was completely still for hours. You’ll start to notice a pattern with certain things you do.
Right now, I think it’s just too early in the patterns to tell.
If tomorrow you still don’t feel any movement at all, I’d call in.
For me, if I sit for long periods of time like at work, she gets restless. After eating, she wiggles around a bit and when I lay down at night.
Not so much during the day, the constant movement makes them fall asleep. Especially during the second trimester, when your constantly on your feet or preoccupied, they’re just busy sleeping and growing. When you enter the third you’ll feel it stronger because not only are they growing bones and muscles but now they can tell the difference in voices, light, music or sound.
@laneylou it tends to happen around growth spurts. Try drinking really cold water, eat something sweet, and lay on your left side. I bought a heart doppler to help with my paranoia every time he wasn't moving.
I ended up going into the hospital because I’m a worry wart and turned out it was exactly what you said. He’s just so small and the fact that my uterus is retroverted he sits back further than a normal uterus and I’m lucky I feel him as much as I do already. Just better to have a piece of mind then worry I guess! Thanks for the in-sight though!
